The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson 563 pp.
Book three in the series and the last (or maybe not). Lisbeth Salander is hospitalized for the massive injuries she suffered at the end of book 2. There she fights for her life physically while preparing to fight for her life in the courts. Journalist Mikael Blomkvist is assisting in proving her innocence and bringing down the corrupt government agents who perpetrated the horrors in Lisbeth's life. It's slow in spots but gratifying to watch the truly evil get picked off, one by one. I was curious to see how this one would end since the series was planned to be longer but it ends in a way that the story can stop there without leaving unfinished business. But the character of Salander is so intriguing, I wish there could have been more--and if rumors of a 4th book are true, there might be.
